Abstract

"A Pain Assessment Tool to be used with the School-Age Child Eight-to-Ten Years Old" was developed to assist in assessing this aged child's pain experience. It was designed to serve as a guide tor the nurse to better assess the eight-to-ten year old in pain. The information obtained can serve as a basis for intervention. The review of literature includes cognitive development, psychosocial development, selected literature on pain, and currently available assessment tools. The literature review serves as a basis for the assessment tool.
